Long time no add too!
The world in general having convinced me that I really should get off my ass and sort my 3door out and not pass the shell on,, and of course a greater intellect than I having pointed out the error of my ways with regards to heater resistors -
I thought I would do some actual, simple, work.
Most of the front suspension re-assembled and ready for installation.

Fantastic as always Mac - glad to hear you're carrying on with the 3 door project. I'm sure if you get fed up of it some V3M'ers would be willing to give a hand in the form of labour

Apart from spending the day stuffing cheap thermometers up the arses of various heater boxes I have managed to bolt a few bits back on the 3door.

I thought I would just update this thread with a couple of pictures of your car which I took back in 2010.
Looking forward to photographing some more of it in our planned red 3-door lineup!

That would make a great photo, a mk1, a mk2.5 and a mk3 all 3dr and in red.
All we need to do now is find red 3drs of mk 1.5, mk2.0 and a van to have a photo of all different body styles of 3dr.
